Detailed Description

Sparta PN8016 is a mechanical fuel pump built for older Chevrolet and GMC platforms that rely on a belt- and camshaft-driven fuel delivery setup. It is a direct-fit style replacement for many 1970s and 1980s trucks, vans, SUVs, and passenger cars, including Chevrolet C10, K10, P30, Camaro, Nova, and GMC C1500, K1500, and P3500 models. This part cross-references Airtex Fuel Pumps 41169 and Carter M4641 for the same application.

Backed by Delphi distribution, Sparta focuses on fit and performance for higher-mileage and earlier-model vehicles. PN8016 is designed for gasoline fuel systems and uses a 1 inlet / 1 outlet layout with a hose-bead inlet and threaded outlet for straightforward fuel line connection.

Common Fuel System Issues It Can Address

• Hard starting caused by weak fuel delivery
• Fuel starvation under normal driving conditions
• Low fuel pressure in carbureted systems
• Stalling from inconsistent mechanical pump output
• Fuel pump replacement during restoration or maintenance

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify inlet and outlet orientation before installation and confirm the outlet fitting thread size is 1/2"-20. Inspect the mounting surface, fuel lines, and gasket sealing area for wear or contamination before bolting the pump in place. Use the included gasket and follow the instruction sheet for proper alignment and sealing.

Confirm vehicle application by year, make, and model before ordering. PN8016 is listed for multiple Chevrolet and GMC platforms, including 1976-1985 Chevrolet C20, 1979-1985 GMC C2500, and 1975-1979 Chevrolet Camaro.
